Graceland Trip

This year is the 10th anniversary of Kris losing her Dad. Dad LOVED Elvis. He even had a pink Cadillac when he was in high school. We used to listen to listen to Elvis when we were little and watch all of his movies when they came on TV. We thought it would be nice to celebrate Dad's life by going to Graceland in style!

Amazing sales

More than 400,000,000 after her died and that was just counting to 1997.

We had to time it perfectly between cars and busses and stare directly in to the sun. Fastest selfie ever!
Back to the hotel!

We were literally a block away so we stopped at a souvenir shop and walked back to the hotel.

We didn't get a chance to take a photo when we arrived so we took one now. It was such a nice day!
Back to the casinos!

We decided to go back to Tunica that night. Just to the Gold Strike for a while.
